Can foreigners buy land in Korea?
Yes. You don't need Korean residency to buy land, and the process mirrors any property purchase (매매) — except in land-transaction permit zones, where any buyer needs a permit first. A small number of zones — near military installations, certain islands and protected areas — require prior approval under the Foreigner's Land Acquisition Act, which your realtor identifies up front.
What to check before buying land
- Zoning / land-use (용도지역) — what you may legally build, and how densely (building-to-land and floor-area ratios).
- Access and utilities — road frontage, water, power and drainage.
- Title and encumbrances — confirmed against the official register before contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a foreigner buy land in South Korea?
Yes. Foreigners can buy land outright without Korean residency, but land in a land-transaction permit zone needs a permit for any buyer. Only a few zones (near military sites, some islands and protected areas) need prior approval under the Foreigner's Land Acquisition Act, which your realtor flags before you proceed.
What should I check before buying land in Korea?
The land-use zoning (용도지역) that governs what and how much you can build, road access and utilities, and a clean title confirmed against the official register. A verified realtor verifies each of these before contract.
What taxes apply when buying land in Korea?
Land purchases carry acquisition tax and ongoing property tax, and capital-gains tax may apply on sale. Rates vary by land type and use — see the cost-of-buying guide and confirm the all-in figure with your realtor.
